Fishy Stencil

Morning and I have two DT posts today the second one is for the ATG challenge at Love to Craft-now you may remember I made a project for my sons birthday here- well this was the first attempt using textured paste through a That's Crafty stencil/Decoart Misters and Cosmic Shimmer Gold Gilding Polish-now I made it in landscape style ----THEN I had a senior moment and thought oh oh the frame is portrait syle so made this one HERE when I framed it realised frame could be used either way for goodness sake????? So I have now framed this one and have a spare pressie lol--hope you could follow that made sense in my head --well maybe not had to check three times lol.

Drums and Braille

Morning and this is my 2nd of 2 posts today-we have a new ATG challenge at A Inky Mess-we are also sponsored by Gecko Galz.I had a request for an 18th Birthday card for someones Nephew who is blind-I also made their 16th card two years ago--so plenty of texture was needed.

I stamped and heat embossed a music score from Kanban on the background card-then overlaid with a B.paper from I think 7 Gypsies-the corner was die-cut with a DT die-the small drum kit craft mag freebie stamp was also silver heat embossed as was the large drum kit image which was a Sheena Douglass stamp-all edges were aslo silver heat embossed and the sentiment is the name and 18 written in Braille with Cosmic Shimmer liquid pearls.

Throwback Thursday

Morning and my first of two posts today is for the Throwback Thursday with Jo hope you can join in.This canvas I made a few years ago and it has been hung on our bedroom wall--now every morning I look at it and think I don't like that!!!It was my first attempt at a canvas and I didn't wait for the colours to dry in between each one so all merged into one beige shade!!!!

I finally got around to changing it and first of all covered everything in black gesso even that was an improvement-

Then I used a couple of Decoart sprays-

Finally added Cosmic Shimmer Gilding wax to edges and some of the embellishments--now I love it but daughter now has her eye on it!!!
